When doing papa-katsu, is it better to save the money or invest it in my appearance?
This content is machine-translated.
My papa (a male supporter) gives me around ¥200,000 a month. For now, I spend half on things like clothes and save the other half.
I’m currently a university student and don’t have a part-time job, so papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) is my only source of income.
I’m Aya, one of the female members.
I think saving ¥100,000 every month is a good idea. But if you’re a college student, you’re still young, so pretty much anything looks good on you—even budget clothes. Honestly, I think spending that much on clothes and cosmetics is a waste.
If it were me, I’d make do with cheap clothes and cosmetics, get a little cosmetic work done once or twice, then find an even more generous (well-paying) papa. After that, I’d save and invest in stocks even more than I do now.
Once I started working, I’d scale back my papa-katsu, focus on a respectable job and investing, and from my late twenties onward, use some of the money I’d saved to work on anti-aging. I’d keep investing in stocks the whole time, with a plan to steadily grow my assets. Sounds fun, doesn’t it?

You should probably save your money. I think life gets harder if you become too obsessed with beauty… Besides, spending money on beauty treatments doesn’t necessarily make you more beautiful. Getting braces might be worth it, though. Other than that…

I think your current approach is perfectly fine!
If you invest all your money in beauty treatments, you’ll inevitably need money whenever there’s something else you want to do.
So I think it’s important to save some money for those goals too!
And if you have a little extra to spare, sending some money to your family could be a nice idea as well (*^^*)!

Investing in yourself through beauty treatments and clothes is fine, but don’t focus only on things that benefit you temporarily. Try getting a qualification or building up your skills and inner qualities. You’re only young once.
A woman with strong principles is beautiful.
If you have anything left over, try saving a little at a time.
Good luck!

I think your current allocation looks good too.
It’s especially great that you’re putting a decent amount into savings. That way, you can use it when you need it.
And I’m glad to see you using it for things like beauty treatments, moving, school, lessons, your driver’s license, or a car when the time is right.

Everyone has their own preferences, but personally, I’d say, “Invest in your beauty, haha.” Maybe I feel that way because I’m a man.
